Nathan's Famous and KaBOOM! build playground in Kissimmee, Florida

Nathan's Famous teamed up with KaBOOM! and other community leaders to build a new Coney Island themed playspace at the Mark E. Durbin Community Park at Lakeside in Kissimmee, Florida.

It is the first playground funded by the world famous hot dog company and a key element of Ready. Set. PLAY., a special multi-faceted initiative launched by the company earlier this year in support of KaBOOM!.

"This has been a really fun and exciting project to be a part of," said Wayne Norbitz, president of Nathan's Famous Inc., in a company press release "Nathan's Famous is a company all about community, family and fun. We believe it is important to give back to not just the community in New York where we are founded and based, but to communities across the country. And what a better way to do so by creating a space that welcomes children and families and encourages active play. We are really proud of our partnership with KaBOOM! and are thankful for the tremendous support from the City of Kissimmee and Community Vision and all of the volunteers that helped make this fun new playspace a reality for the community here in Kissimmee."

The playground construction was fueled by Nathan's Famous hot dogs throughout the day.
